American Board of Podiatric Medicine (ABPM)

The American Board of Podiatric Medicine (ABPM) is a professional organization that certifies podiatrists—specialists who diagnose and treat foot and ankle conditions. Achieving ABPM certification indicates a podiatrist has met rigorous education and training standards, completed advanced residency work, and passed comprehensive exams. This certification helps ensure they possess specialized knowledge and skills for effective foot and ankle care, often emphasizing medicine and diagnosis rather than surgery. It serves as a reliable credential demonstrating a podiatrist’s expertise and commitment to high-quality patient care in their field.
